Beast's Forest

"Could there really be magical beasts in here?" Uraraka asked uncertainly. "It has a creepy feeling in here..."

"No, no, it must be the Mandalay trying to scare us." Yuga Aoyama. "More than the monsters, I'm worried about my dirty face. I wonder where I can wash it..."

"U.A. High School is so reckless! We're a bunch of students! They just dumped us in the middle of nowhere! What if something happens to us?!" Minoru Mineta complained loudly, shouting upwards, "Hey, Mr. Aizawa, are you still there? Help—!"

Ten seconds passed, and no one answered.

Kirishima scratched his head and smiled wryly, "It seems we have no choice but to move forward."

After saying that, Kirishima took the lead and stepped forward, giving everyone a thumbs-up and saying with a smile, "Don't worry, whether it's a trap or a monster ahead, it's useless to me. Let me lead the way!"

"Kirishima, you're a true man, so reliable!"

Kaminari had just uttered a compliment when Katsuki Bakugo pulled Kirishima aside and walked ahead, scoffing, "Since they've already given us a time limit, how can you still be strolling around here so leisurely! You guys have clearly spent the entire summer vacation playing around!"

Bakugo cursed and swore, placing his hands behind his back and using the explosive force to propel himself several meters into the forest in an instant!

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Kaminari walked over to Kirishima and nudged his arm. "Hey, what's wrong with that guy? Is he acting crazy again?"

Kirishima wasn't angry about it. Looking at Bakugo figure, he scratched his face and smiled wryly, saying, "I don't know either. Maybe something made him angry..."

"Well, anyway, Bakugo's right, let's set off!"

Just as Kirishima shouted, a tremendous roar followed immediately!

"Boom boom boom!" "Ahhh--"

Immediately following were continuous explosions and Bakugo's furious roars.

The sound was coming from the forest! The group exchanged glances and quickened their pace, running towards the Beast's Forest.

Upon entering the forest, they saw Bakugo battling a massive monster. The dense forest offered little room for Bakugo to maneuver, forcing him to desperately dodge the attacks of the seven-meter-tall monster.

Kirishima instinctively wanted to help, but Jilan stopped him.

"Kirishima, take a good look around, don't act rashly."

Upon hearing Jilan's words, Kirishima looked around and trembled. In the shadows of the surrounding trees, three or four enormous bodies lurked, watching them like hunters, ready to attack at any moment.

"Hey, no way, there are so many magical beasts...!"

Minoru Mineta ran in and encountered this scene, causing him to shudder and instinctively back away. However, as Minoru Mineta retreated, he encountered an obstacle; his back was pressed against a hard, breathing creature.

No way, no way!! I can't be that unlucky!

Minoru Mineta slowly turned his head and saw—a terrifying creature with several tentacles!

Minoru Mineta was so terrified that he collapsed to the ground, screaming, "A ghost! Help!"

"Mineta -kun, I know my appearance might be a bit scary, but we've known each other for so long, I shouldn't be that frightening..." A somewhat dejected voice sounded in front of Minoru Mineta. Minoru Mineta tremblingly raised his head and saw a tentacle with a mouth!

He was about to scream, but stopped himself immediately, realizing what the tentacle truly looked like. Minoru Mineta, panting heavily, said irritably, "Shoji- kun, could you please not suddenly appear behind me? It's scary!"

The trees in this Beast's Forest are so tall and dense that they block out the entire sky. Although it is daytime, they can only see through the faint light filtering through the leaves. It is precisely because of the darkness that Minoru Mineta Mezo Shoji, whose Quirk is "Dupli-Arms," for a monster.

Shoji was very gentle. After clearing up Minoru Mineta's misunderstanding, he used one arm to pull Minoru Mineta up and put him on his back. His voice didn't come from his mouth, which was covered by a mask, but from a Dupli-Arms: "Mineta -kun, the road here is not easy to walk on. You're too short to move around easily in this kind of place. Remember our combination at the Sports Festival? You attacked from my back, and I moved around like your horse."

Minoru Mineta's eyes welled up with tears. "I know you care about me, but it's hurtful to say things like that so directly!"

At that moment, the monsters burst out from their hiding place, and three monsters in total rushed towards Midoriya and the others who were standing at the front!

Koji Koda, Quirk has the ability to communicate with Monoma, took a step forward and extended his hand. "Please be quiet!"

However, things didn't go as Koji Koda expected; the monsters didn't quiet down and continued to charge at them!

That's it, my Quirk didn't work!

Just as Koda closed his eyes, thinking the monster in the middle was about to crash into him, someone rushed past him and stood in front of the monster charging towards him!

Kirishima trusted Bakugo's strength. He bravely faced the central monster, instantly hardening his body to block its claw attack. A confident smile spread across his face as he shouted to the others behind him, "I'll handle this monster! You guys deal with the others!"

Without much talk, the quick-moving boys sprang into action. Just as Shoto Todoroki's flames reached the monster on the left, Jilan had already arrived beside it and delivered a powerful "Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive" with a kidney strike. At the same time, Izuku Midoriya's fist struck the monster's head!

Just five seconds later, a five-meter-tall monster collapsed!

Meanwhile, the enemy on the other side, after being pinned to the spot by Minoru Mineta's Grape, also collapsed under the combined attack of Tenya Iida, Yuga Aoyama, Mina Ashido, and Fumikage Tokoyami, not even lasting half a minute!

"Leave the middle one for me!"

Denki Kaminari Ochaco Uraraka thrilled to see everyone already in action. He had Hanta Sero grant him a Zero Gravity Quirk, and then had Sero Hanta wrap him in tape, like flying a kite, and bring him to the head of the monster in the very center.

"Uraraka, release your Quirk!" Denki Kaminari commanded with great enthusiasm, releasing the Zero Gravity that Uraraka had attached to him. Sero also removed his tape, and the next moment, Kaminari landed on the monster's head in freefall, the lightning he had been holding ready instantly engulfing the monster's entire body!

"100,000 Volts!"

Kaminari wasn't initially planning to use his full strength. Under Jilan's tutelage, he had learned the fighting style of "70% against the enemy, 30% for himself." However, he discovered that the monster beneath him seemed to be extremely resistant to electricity, and he couldn't disable it!

Seeing that his classmates had already taken care of the enemies around them, Kaminari felt a little embarrassed. His team had clearly assisted him in getting to the enemy without any problems, but he himself had messed things up...

"Increase output, 1 Million Volts!" Kaminari's attack illuminated the surrounding forest. For some reason, the monsters that had been eyeing them seemed to be afraid of the light and moved away from them, leaving only the monster fighting Bakugo behind.

As the light dimmed, the monster was defeated, and Denki Kaminari, who was sitting on the monster's head, returned to his powerful stance, repeatedly giving thumbs-up with both hands, staring blankly ahead, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
